gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	Originally Posted By: cp1966 If I select PLIIx as a surround mode, I assume I lose the lossless DTS or Dolby mix? I can use PLIIx for regular (standard definition) DVDs also, correct? No. Pro Logic IIx is applied after decoding - whether it is decoding DD, DTS, TrueHD, DTS-HD MA. It takes the multichannel PCM data produced by the decoder and applies the PLIIx processing to that. You can use PLIIx with DVD and Blu-ray. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

If you have surround speakers set up, I would recommend not using it. Actually, the number of speakers you have is probably the most important detail for offering suggestions to this question. Do you have a 5.1 system or a 7.1 system? _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

cp1966 Gunslinger Registered: 04/20/07 Posts: 221 Loc: Minneapolis	Gonk, I now have a 7.1 set up. What do you mean by "Theater Dimensional"? Not that I have done any critical listening yet, but I did use PLIIx earlier tonight on a regular Dolby Digital broadcast and the rear surround speakers were active. _________________________ Panasonic TC-P65S1 65" Plasma HDTV, Marantz AV 8801 Preamp, Outlaw 7700 Amp, Klipsch RF7 (X-over dean G modded) RC7 (X-over Dean G modded) RS7 CDT-5800C speakers, Outlaw LFM1 EX Subwoofer, Oppo BDP-93, B & O Turntable, Toshiba HD-A2, Sony CD & DVD 400 disc jukeboxes, DirecTV HD-DVR, PS2, PS3, Wii, Harmony one remote, Monster PowerBar 1200 for the TV, sub, PS3, HD DVD and Wii, Tripp Lite Isolation Bar for the Amp, Pre-Amp and other sources.

You don't have any need for it because you have actual surround speakers - you are best off avoiding it. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93
